I've been training here for about 2 years. The gym has a giant mat for bjj and another mat for Muy Thai. They have clean locker rooms, bathrooms, showers, a small weight lifting area and a sauna. Their staff is very friendly and helpful with great coaches that are amazing at their craft and are very friendly. SG is a great community and although starting to train for the first time may be very daunting, it's definetly worth it and you won't regret it.
Best gym around. If you're a female and want to join please know the environment is safe and comfortable and we would love to have you!
I dropped in for a couple of open mats over the winter holidays and had a great time!! Everyone was so friendly, the rolls were super fun, and the mat space is huge and clean. I would definitely visit again the next time I’m back in town!
I am from out of state and dropped into SG for a few classes. They are fantastic! Everyone is very welcoming and willing to teach and learn. 10/10 would recommend
I have been training here for years and tried a few gyms before in the area. The best by far. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. You will see all levels of competitiveness here.
I get a smile on my face every time I walk through the doors. Great environment, fantastic instruction, always a good day when I get to SG.
SG gym is the cleanest, friendliest and biggest mat-space gym in the area. My family and I (myself and two children) have been training here for two years now and we all love it. It is the most family-friendly gym we have ever been to. Honestly, if you're in the market for self improvement, discipline, health, strength and friendship, all whilst training jiu jitsu, SG BJJ is the best place you can go!
First class down this morning, everyone was great. Everyone was patient with the new guy and willing to share knowledge. Looking forward to Wednesday morning.
Whenever I travel, I stop in at local BJJ gyms. You won't find a more friendly group to train with. I walked in and the treated me like an old friend. It was a blast! My only regret is that I was only able to train this one day. If you are in the area, please check it out. If they happen to drop in at Dalton Combatives, it would be fun to catch up again. Keep up the good work!
Popped in for an afternoon GI class while on the road. Training was excellent and so was the instruction. Great facility and very welcoming environment!
The best around! My son has grown tremendously in the two years he has been training here. If you are seeking highly skilled coaches and a gym to help prepare you or your children for the competition route, this is it. There is also a great network of women who train and the environment is very family oriented all around.
Really good, I’ve trained here for 7 years and I still love it. Would recommend 👍👍👍 The gym is clean , coaches are nice and talented and the front staff is very nice. This gym opened up a bunch of opportunities for me and my friends.
I had an opportunity to train No-Gi jiu jitsu at SG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in March 2024. It was a great experience with friendly people. The owner, Sean, was very accommodating and helpful; I had emailed the club info address a week in advance to set things up. Sean responded within a few hours and I was able to make a plan to visit the early Wednesday morning workout. Signing in was quick and easy. Sean was very friendly along with all the students. They were all very easy to work with during the training. The skills training was challenging but taught in a technical way that was easy to grasp. I’d highly recommend SG BJJ to anyone who’s into BJJ or looking to get into it!
Extremely welcoming and nice people! The trainers are amazing, and Sean is a great person.
My 13 year old son went tonight and had a great experience. The staff were amazing and all of the students worked well together!
Thanks for letting me drop in during the holiday! Great focus on technique with solid, chill partners!
If you are ever in the Dayton area and want the best place to train or you are thinking about starting to train, then look no more, you have found it. S&G BJJ is the best gym that you could ask for with the best instructors and training partners. They have a great training area, the prices are really good and they have various classes during the day which is great if you have a tight schedule.
Dropped in for the Saturday adult no gi class, the gym is large, clean and looks great!
I train at a different school, but I've dropped by a few times for open mats, they have always been very welcoming to outsiders, any interactions that i've had with the owners have been great, and they have some extremely good and technical students. Enormous mat space and great resources. I'm excited to send my son for their homeschool program!
An amazing gym with very nice and knowledgeable instructors! Highly recommend checking it out!
Great place to train, adult and kid friendly! Great community to be apart of!
Best gym in the area. Instructors are wonderful and hands on. Gym is clean. The front desk staff are always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!
My son has trained at S&G for over 4 years now and still loves it! The coaches are amazing and he has learned so much from them. We love this gym because they treat you like family.
I have been going to S&G for several years. Both my kids are in the kids program and I take in the adult classes. The kids program is really impressive, with a lot of technique boiled down to basics that my 5 and 7 year old understand. They have fun too because most classes end in playing a game. You can't find better people to learn from and with, or better quality instruction anywhere. The variety of class times means that I can always hit a couple every week even when life is crazy and work is busy. Above all it is obvious that the coaches and staff care about the students. I love it.
I’ve now been training at S&G for, I think, 8 years. Was great years ago and just keeps getting better. New location is awesome! The ability to access cutting edge, world-class knowledge is unmatched in Dayton. See a guy win big on Flo Grappling on Wednesday, train with him Friday night.
owners,instructors, just everyone are so nice and helpful!! Just love being a part of this community of good people
My husband and two daughters (8 and 10) train here and I’ve been nothing but impressed. Owners and coaches are great! They have done a wonderful job creating a community at this gym.
Can't say enough about how happy I am to have found this spot. I'm a brown belt in BJJ and have trained for 8 years or so, and I can confidently say S&G BJJ is one of the best gyms around. Tons of training partners of all skill levels. Top notch facilities. Great people. Awesome coaching staff. Everything you could ask for. Highly recommend it for anyone in the area!
Incredible place to train! Every instructor is highly talented and experienced. As someone who may not be among the strongest of people, it's amazing how the coaches have been able to create a game plan for me. "There's a game out there for everyone". Each person I have trained with has been welcoming. Everyone, helping everyone to improve. The facility is always clean and nice as well! I highly recommend you check it out!
My boys and I have been attending S&G for the past 4 months. It’s not often you find a place as friendly and skilled as S&G. Fantastic youth coaches and deeply knowledgeable adult coaches. First week’s free, so you’ve got nothing to lose but pounds.
If you are thinking about joining a BJJ gym and you are in the Dayton area, then this is the one to join. Very welcoming and great environment to train at! -Drew
Very awesome place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and judo. Strong community and team focused atmosphere. Very accepting of new people. Feels like a family! Great place for women to train, too. The coaches and workers care about the success and happiness of the students. Very attentive and willing to stay over class and help with questions. Always throwing get togethers and participating in local competitions. Prices are very good compared to other gyms I’ve been to in the area. Fun way to get cardio in… I hate running lol. Great way to relieve stress. Love going here after work. Clean environment. Always cleaning mats after every class. Locker rooms are equipped with personal amenities! I’m super happy being apart of this team
After you’ve been doing it for a while you realize it’s the people that make you want to stay around, not just the world class training partners. You’ll find both of those things here along with enormous mat space.
We are new to jujitsu in general. We tried a couple places in the past but wasn’t a good fit. S&G has a fantastic family friendly atmosphere. Very clean and professional. There was no pressure to join during the free trial week and they have been very welcoming!
S&G is absolutely fantastic! They have something for everyone whether you are a beginner just starting out in BJJ or a serious competitor. They also have great coaches in multiple other disciplines such as Mui Thai and wrestling. On top of all this, they have a world class facility equipped with showers and a spacious locker. Come check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Great group of people and great coaches with a wealth of knowledge. Clean gym and very professional atmosphere.
Helpful and friendly folks and coaches. Myself and my 3 children all participate and have fun doing so! And great community to be a part of.
If I’m not home with my family, im here with what has become my extended family! Great environment for all ages !
I started training at S&G at their old location in Moraine back in September of 2021 and have nothing but great things to say. The atmosphere is always laid back and welcoming. Instruction is top notch, with a variety of classes to suit any interest or schedule. My favorite thing about S&G is the fact that every single person helps each other get better. I have come across almost zero “ego” - driven individuals while training here. Everyone freely and openly shares knowledge to make each other better. The new gym location has plenty of mat space and is always extremely clean. All in all, definitely the best location to train in the Dayton area.
My son has trained at this gym for almost 6 years now, and we can’t imagine going anywhere else. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. The families who train here, along with the staff, have become a second family for us. The training is top notch, and the kids class works hard but always ends with a game. Whether you want to compete or just gain new skills, strength and confidence; this is the place!
they treated me great from the moment I first stepped in. everyone is awesome and accepting. the people who run the place are incredible, big shout out to Rita. best place in dayton for training and friends
Great environment everyone is family, major camaraderie
Stopped here while in the area. This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Large training area and a wide variety of experience. Highly recommend this place.
Great family owned business. All the instructors are very skilled and love what they do. Good vibes all around. Love S & G
Life changing experience in a life changing gym. The instructors have decades of knowledge but continue to follow up on where the sport is going to keep instruction modern and relevant. Mats and facilities are always clean and there's always smiling faces to greet you.
Amazing place with skilled instructors. People respect your body, health, and safety all the while learning how to break it, snap it, and choke it.
A most excellent institution, the women running the front desk, and office are wonderful, professional, and knowledgeable. The instructors are hands on, they take their time when demonstrating techniques, and correcting mistakes during the drilling portion of class. If you are looking for a group who love not only the sport of bjj, but teaching, watching their students grow and fall in love with the sport as well, S&G Team SAS is a good place to checkout.
I travel to the Dayton area for work regualrly so I decided to stop by this place and train the last itme I was in town, and I was impressed to say the least! Amazing instruction and group of guys to train with. I had the honor of rolling with Professor Jon Stutzman for a few rounds and I can honestly say I have never felt such crushing pressure and absolute control in my life; it was awesome, lol! I will definitely look to stop by here again regualrly in the future, and would absolutley recommend this gym to anyone in the Dayton area looking to improve their BJJ game.
The best coaches in the area for their crafts(Muay Thai/bjj) . Aaron, Sean and Jon are all great.
Great only thing to note is a bit expensive. Minus contracts. Would be perfect the instructors are all great and I’d recommend
Their is a comraderie, the more skilled students willingly help the newer ones. Respect is taught, earned, expected and it is given.
Great place
Great gym with plenty of class options and top skilled talent. Kids classes are great also. My son has participated in both Muay Thai and Jujitsu classes. I participate in the adult Jujitsu and have learned a lot. It's real actual talent with real trained professionals and not some fly by night gym.
Best place in Dayton for bjj hands down. Flexible hours with lots of class times and the instructors are second to none.
Wake up everyday excited with the knowledge I'll get to train here , they also have a great Muay Thai Kickboxing program and Judo. This place is a well of knowledge , come in and try it out they even let you try it out for free . I read a review about prices this gym is really fair on memberships , most days there are atleast 5 scheduled classes am/pm , opertunity to take private lessons and really develope yourself.
Jon Stutzman is an amazing professor. Academy is packed with amazing people, extremely nice, helpful and skilled. Can't possibly recommend highly enough.
awesome 😎
I have been an adopted member of this academy for over a year now; training here when I'm in Dayton. You can not find a better place to train in regards to skill level or atmosphere. I highly recommend this place whether you're a complete beginner or a skilled practitioner...Professor Stutzman is top notch. Seriously, you want to train here. Gary
I started at S&G in December 2018. The first week is free, which is nice. As a 25 year old female who has never trained any kind of martial arts in my life - I was slightly intimidated to go. I fell in love with this place immediately. The owners/professors and students are extremely welcoming. I am about to start my 4th month at the gym and I have grown to really enjoy most of the people there! I have also found genuine friendships. It has definitely helped with my generalized anxiety disorder as well, which is a huge benefit mentally. Professor Stutzman & Professor Snuggles are great. As well as the other instructors I’ve worked with. I 100% recommend this place. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is something I truly enjoy and can’t wait to continue progressing and working from the very bottom - up. If you have the time to commit yourself, it’s definitely worth it.
I enjoy the people and the environment
Best place to learn BJJ. Professors Gray and Stuntzman are absolutely amazing. Mt daughter has been attending this gym for almost 18 months and I can't tell you how much it has improved her confidence and perception of the world. Do yourself a favor and come for the week of free classes. Go home sore and come for more!
My son started judo 🥋 Jitsu a few months back n he likes the class n coach Snuggles... The staff are friendly and the prices for the classes are very decent.. Now my son has joined Muay Thai #KickBoxing# n Professor is a great coach as well. The whole staff are very friendly n the atmosphere is excellent.. They have adult&kids classes...
Knowledgeable staff, good with the kiddos.
I had the privilege of rolling in an open mat class at S&G while on a short visit to Dayton, OH. I can not say enough about how welcoming the Dojo was. The skill level was remarkably high across the board. Even though I was a visitor, Professor Jon Stutzman showed great effort to help me improve my technique. If I lived in Dayton, I would roll at S&G.
First, some background. I am 53 years old. I'm a lifetime martial artist. I'm a nidan in aikido and a former instructor and dojocho. I'm in good shape, but I'm also pretty beat up. I've trained at a great many schools as I progressed through life and in my business travel. With kids now in college, I'm now resuming my fun and have been training at S&G for just over a year. So, on to the review. S&G is a clean, safe, and productive place to train with great instruction. I hate to even mention it, but it is also cost effective. The mat is disinfected daily; you aren't going to get staff there. There aren't any juicers there that are going to rip your arm off intentionally. They are not tolerated. There is a great mix of new folks, mid-level players, and high-level players. There are many classes offered, several per day during the week and open mats available twice per week. There is several instructors, all very good players. So, you get different perspectives which is often helpful. Professor Stutzman is, well, a magician. Just due to my schedule, I most often attend Coach Gray's classes. His instruction is clear, concise, and focused on useful, foundational basics...just what I need. The cost is discounted the longer that you sign up for. It is, in my mind, super reasonable for the value provided. In summary, of you are interested in studying grappling in Dayton, S&G is the first choice. Note: S&G also offers kids, judo, and Muy Thai classes. I haven't attended any of these and, so, do not offer an opinion. But, birds of a feather flock together...
The best BJJ gym I've ever been a part of. Professor Stutzman and Coach Grey are legit BJJ black belts with a clearly defined lineage in receiving their belts. Prof Stutzman and Coach Grey are very knowledgeable and effective teachers of the art and their styles complement one another very well. The community of students and training partners is also excellent and welcoming to all levels of experience and fitness. Also, the Judo coach, Chris Collins is a black belt in that art and purple in BJJ and is also great with Judo students and excellent with coaching kids, as he has coached my young daughter in the past. I couldn't recommend this gym enough for anyone who is interested in learning and training in BJJ or Judo.
The most professional, experienced, high quality instructors in the midwest without a doubt. From fitness, to fighters, from MMA to Judo, they've coached at all levels.
We went to this place last Wednesday for the first time for or grandson. They give him a out fit to wear his first time there. The following Monday we go back for or second time and still NOBODY told us Mondays is shorts and t-shirt. So we show up jeans and a long sleeve thinking they would just put him in a out fit again. So the coach says to me very rudely this is casul night, then yells out to a woman we got to get this kid something to wear his parents brought him in jeans a long sleeve shirt rudely. Also the same night the other coach was showing the little kids how to roll. He ask who didnt get to do it so my grandson raises his hand and coach tells him dont worry about. Rushed in the door first night straight into class with out any COMMUCATION after first night about anything. Sad thing is my grandson really liked it but theres no COMMUCATION there.. Im not trying to dog this place im sure all experiences r different but this is how ours went.
If you sign your kid up they won't even let you inside. They make you stand outside? They say you can watch it on twitch but sometimes don't even turn the stream on. On top of that the stream is public!! Adult classes are taught by brown belts. Would not recommend. Small gym, definitely not the best in Dayton.
